Great Monitor for the Price, came with decent...Strengths: Good value, bright, sharp, good menu option and color controls, useful software calibration tool Weakness: Limited input options, too bright for photo editing I purchased this monitor during an after Thanksgiving sales to replace my Apple 20" CRT. Initially, I had a bit of trouble with my video card configuration. Image was stretched side way for the extra width. After I installed the monitor driver (you have multiple choices between digital/analog) and selected the correct resolution settings, everything works great. My first impression of this...

Best LCD of its kind in the price range.Strengths: Big, widescreen, easy to install Weakness: Some backlight leaking. The color is not the best Generally speaking the monitor is satisfactory -- it's the cheapest monitor of its size and performance on the market. The bigest advantage -- it's big! Yeah yeah I know you are ready to boast about your 30'' LCD but man you know I'm a poor student and the cheap price of this item just fit my budget. Some issues with it: it has some backlight leaking problem. Not serious but noticeable. No big...

Samsung SyncMaster 225BWStrengths: Great contrast and brightness. Of course, the large screen real-estate helps. Weakness: Difficult to adjust the height and angle, and not a lot of input options. I really have no regrets about getting this to replace my Dell ultrasharp 18" LCD. The screen size is a large step forward. Text and photo are both sharp. Video gaming on this beast shows no signs of ghosting. Also, one problem I've had with dell monitors is the light bleeding on the edge when the screen is black. No worries here, the black is rich and uniform, no distracting streak of light when...

Samsung SyncMaster 225BWStrengths: brightness and contrast Weakness: no RCA or S-video inputs The Samsung 22" monitor is quick response, bright and clear. It's widescreen is very good from form processing to entertainment. One problem is the stand is loose, need to be taken care of when moving, but it's nothing compare to the $350 price.

Samsung SyncMaster 225BWStrengths: fast response, high contarst ratio, nice looking Weakness: none I love this monitor. It is very bright, good colors and looks nice on the desk. The height is adjustable so is the angle. I got it for a price of a 20" in after thanksgiving sale and I cannot be happier about it.

Great MonitorStrengths: Quick response time for gaming, DVI interface, HUGE Screen, Built-in preset calibrations. Weakness: None I cam think of. This is a beautiful monitor. The installation was simple. The included CD/Software lets you adjust the settings without having to touch the monitor controls. The picture is crystal clear (using my DVI-DVI interface and 512MG Video Card). This monitor is a must-buy for anyone looking for a widescreen. Also, DVD movies look great on it as well. Highly Recommend it.

Affordable 22" widescreenStrengths: Great image quality Very good construction Weakness: Doesn't rotate to portrait mode I am very happy with this monitor, as I've been with every Samsung monitor I've owned. The build quality is what you'd expect, picture quality is great, and the 3 year warranty offers peace of mind. Don't hesitate.

This is the one!Strengths: Great color, wideopen space, game (UT2004) support and price can't be beat! Weakness: Text could be sharper, like the address in Internet Explorer but you get used to it after a while. This beats the pants off my Samsung 19" becuase of it's wide screen! put this thing 16" from my face and play a game or R/C simulator (FSone, Relaflight G3) and it is so much better than a 19" LCD. I might buy at least one more for another PC that I have. (I hve 15 all on a LAN at home) Game night is comming soon!

Samsung SyncMaster 225BW
Strengths: Excellent display, response time
Weakness: Awkward to move around
The Samsung 22" monitor is a beautiful display for the price. The image is rich and clear, and more screen real estate than you'd ever need for daily computer usage (a good thing). That and the quick 5ms response time makes it perfect for games, especially shooters. I had previously been using a dual monitor setup with two 17" CRTs but this monitor by itself easily replaces both of them. There's...
